Can't see anything in the rules that would prohibit it.

the only thing that would is if they would not allow us to run programs in the background of the driver station

The simplest way I can think of to do what you want is to write a dashboard program that records the video feed. (You might want to consider storing to an external USB hard disk rather than to the Classmate, just to keep from filling up its storage space.)

The dashboard already does this, sorta.
It has a VI built in that records a screenshot to JPEG once per second, automatically only saving the past 60 images. You can configure the time between and the max number to save in the Dashboard Main VI, and change the path by going into the save images VI. That will give you some screenshots, but not real video.
